I think I need some help on this one..it taste good, it just doesn't look anything like the picture. Infact it isn't the most appetizing looking dish. It is sort of a dark gray color..suggestions of what I did wrong?

Made this recipe today and it was well received in my house. Made some of changes suggested. I did use the bacon and along with the first 1/2 of the garlic I loosely chopped some fresh mushrooms and sauted them. I also added some halved cherry tomatoes . Tossed some parmasean cheese and more olive oil. Will make again

this was an excellent recipe when you want you don't have much time and want something yummy! I accidently picked up pumpkin pie MIX instead of puree at the store and I was really glad I did. I used the spices as suggested and it was delicious. I like that it made 3 nice loaves..I kept one for my family, took one to work and gave one to my son and his fiancee.
One thing for sure it gets better the next day... REALLY moist!
